천해에서의 음파전달은 심해와 비교하여 복잡하고 경계면의 영향을 많이 받으며 서해에서 하계의 평균 수온자료로 잔향음을 계산한 결과 해저면 잔향음(reverberation)이 가장 우세한 것으로 나타났다. 특히 서해에서는 하계에 내부파에 의한 강한 수온약층의 생성이 관측되었으며, 이런 현상은 음파전달에 많은 영향을 줄 것으로 예측된다. 내부파를 조석에 의한 장주기와 단주기로 구분하여 적용한 결과 고주파 음원을 사용할 경우 장주기 내부파에 의한 수온약층의 수식변동에 따른 잔향음은 최대 13dB까지 차이가 났으며 단주기 내부파의 경우 수온약층의 하강한 경우 수온약층이 상승한 경우보다 근거리에서 전달손실 변화가 작았다.

파동 이론에 의한 수중에서의 저주파 음파전달은 음향학적 경계 조건에 의해 결정되는 Normal Mode로 특징지어 진다. Normal Mode는 수층(Water Layer)뿐만 아니라 수직적으로 층상 구조인 해저 퇴적층(Subatrate)의 음향 특성을 포함하여 결정되는 파동 방정식의 해로서 이에 의해 수층 및 해저 퇴적층에서의 음압 분포와 감쇠를 계산할 수 있다. 본 논문은 저주파 음파 전달에 관한 Normal Mode 이론에 의하여 음원의 주파수와 해저 퇴적층에서의 음속 분포등에 따른 각 Mode의 음압 분포, 감쇠등에 관한 음향학적 해석으로 원거리까지 진행하는 수중 음파의 해저 퇴적층 투과 심도를 추출하였다.

The sound wave in the sea propagates under the effect of water depth, sound velocity structure, sea surface and bottom roughness, and bottom sediment distribution. In particular the sound velocity structure in shallow water varies with time and space, an? the sediment distributes very variedly with place. In order to investigate the seasonal variation of low-frequency sound propagation in the Yellow Sea, the propagation experiments were conducted along the same track in the middle part of the Yellow Sea at various seasons of spring. summer, and autumn. In this paper we consider the measurement results on the propagation loss with the sound velocity structure, and investigate the seasonal variation of the propagation loss. As a result, the propagation losses measured in summer were larger than the losses in spring and autumn. And the propagation losses measured in autumn were smaller than the losses in spring. The seasonal change of the propagation loss increased with the rise of sound frequency and the propagation range.

The bubbles are created by waves, raindrops, water collision, vessels sailing at sea, life activities of various marine organisms in the ocean and other sources. The bubbles affect the intensity and sound speed of acoustic waves in the ocean. We indirectly observed bubbles in order to understand the creation of and the effects of bubbles on sound waves, using an Acoustic Bubble Spectrometer (ABS) and CTD, from 04:00 to 17:00, 19 September, 2007. We also analyzed the correlation of wind speed and the generation of bubbles, the amount of bubbles, and the sound speed variation at 50, 60, and 70 kHz. Finally, We simulated the way how bubbles affect sound transmission based on the analysis results.

It is well known that warm eddy is frequently developed through the year in the East Sea. The warm eddy may affect sound propagation due to changes of sound velocity structures in the sea water. To verify the effects of the warm eddy for long-range sound propagation, transmission loss and performance surface, which were used mean direct signal excess range generated by sound propagation modeling using re-analyzed climatology data on March 23th in 2007 were analysed. From these analyses, we found that characteristics of sound propagation in the sea water are changed by the warm eddy, and boundaries of the warm eddy act as a barrier for long-range sound propagation. Furthermore, these disadvantages of the eddy related to sound propagation were increased when the sea bottom depth is shallow.

The electromagnetic (light) waves have a limitation to penetrate media, ie, water and sea-bottom layers, due to high energy attenuation, but acoustic (sound) waves play as the good messenger to gather the underwater target information. Therefore, the acoustic methods are applied to almost all of ocean equipments and technology in terms of in-water and sub-bottom surveys. Generally the sound character is controlled by its frequency. In case that the sound source is low frequency, the penetration is high and the resolution is low. On the other hand, its character is reversed at the high frequency. The common character at the both of light and sound is the energy damping according to the travel distance increase.

The sound velocity (compressional wave) and attenuation coefficient in the marine surface sediments in the nearshore areas off the Pohang, Pusan, Yeosu and Kunsan were investigated in terms of the geotechnical properties of the marine surface sediments in the water depth range of 10-50 meters. The marine surface sediments in the study areas are variable, that is, sand to clay. Due to the various four different study area, the sound velocities and attenuation coefficients in the surface sediment facies vary 1,44m/sec to 1,510m/sec in velocity and 0.82dB/m to 3.70dB/m in coefficient respectively. In fact, the sound velocity increases with increasing of density and mean grain sizes of the sediments, and however, with decreasing of porosith. The correlation equations between the sound velocith and geotechnical properties of mean grain size, density, and porosity were expressed as the following: Vp=1512.28406-9.16083(Mz)＋0.20795(Mz)$\^$2/, Vp=1876.15527-597.50397(d)＋210.48375(d)$\^$2/, Vp=1559.47217-2.09266(n)$\^$2/. where Vp is sound velocity, Mz is mean grain size, d is density, and m is porosity, respectively. However, the relationship between the attenuation and geotechnical properties were different from that of sound velocity and geotchnical properties. Furthermore, the correlation equations between attenuation coefficient and geotechnical properties were expressed as the following: a=1.85217＋0.67197(Mz)-0.09035 (Mz)$\^$2/, a=48.87859＋58.21721(d)-16.3.143(d)$\^$2/, a=2.06765＋0.07215(n)-0.00111(n)$\^$2/, where a is attenuation coefficient. The high attenuation appeared in the silty sand through fine sand facies in sediment and k values in these facies were in the range of 0.86 to 0.89 dB/m/KHz.

Sound propagation algorithm for a sonar simulator is required to run in real-time and should be able to model the range and depth dependence of the Korean ocean environments. Ray model satisfies these requirements and we developed an algorithm for range-dependent ocean environments. In this algorithm, we considered depth-dependence of sound speed through rays based on a rectangular cell method and layer method. Range-dependence of sound speed was implemented based on a split-step method in the range direction. Eigen-ray is calculated through an interpolation of ray bundles and Gaussian interpolation function was used. The received time signal of sonar was simulated by Fourier transform of eigen-ray solution in the frequency domain. Finally, for the verification of proposed algorithm, we compared the results of transmission loss with other validated models such as BELLHOP, SNUPE, KRAKEN and OASES, for the Pekeris waveguide, wedge, and deep ocean environments. As a result, we obtained satisfactory agreements among them.

터어빈 블레이드의 경우 제작 또는 설계상의 이유로 뭉툭한 끝단을 가질 수밖에 없게 되는데, 이로 인하여 같은 터보기계인 압축기 블레이드의 경우와는 다르게 블레이드 끝단에서 끝단 와류(Trailing edge vortex)가 발생하게 된다. 이 와류는 블레이드의 손실 증가, 고주파 음파의 생성, 국부적으로 매우 큰 열 전달 및 에너지분산 등 터빈 블레이드의 성능에 좋지 못한 영향을 미치게 된다. 또한 와류와 충격파와의 간섭효과 둥이 존재하는 경우에는 매우 복잡한 유동장을 형성하며 심한 유동 구배가 존재하게 되므로 고해상도의 수치해석 방법이 아니고서는 이를 수치적으로 해석하기가 쉽지 않다.(중략)

Studies on estimating the underwater sound source localization using acoustic signal characteristics have mainly been conducted in shallow waters. Recently, technologies for stably and efficiently estimating the underwater sound sources localization using the underwater sound propagation characteristics of the Reliable Acoustic Path(RAP) in deep water areas are being studied. Underwater surveillance technology in deep sea areas is known to have the advantage of having low detection performance variability due to time-varying underwater environments and having a small shadow zone, making it easy to stably detect underwater sound sources and estimate location even from relatively long distance. In this study, we analyzed the sound propagation characteristics based on the actual marine environment in the deep sea of the Korean Peninsula and conducted a study to analyze the estimation performance of sound source depth using the broadband interference pattern of direct wave and sea surface reflected waves radiating from underwater sound sources.
